friday - august 28, 2026. friends only post - fight club.
my first job was at the movie theater at the mall. it was probably my favorite job i've ever had. on my breaks i'd go next door to dairy queen, get a small dip cone, and then go watch american pie. i've probably seen that movie 100 times, only in 15 minute increments. just one of the perks of the job. but the movie i paid to watch in the theater more than any other was fight club. i was 18 and only a couple months into my first semester of college. a friend from high school came home to visit, and she'd already seen it once and insisted on taking me to see it. she got to watch me watch fight club for the first time, knowing what was going to happen. and then i took a friend who hadn't seent it, yet, and i got to watch him watch it for the first time. and then i went back twice more. this was back when they still printed real tickets at the theater box office, and i kept my ticket stubs for years and then pasted them all to the cover of a strathmore sketchbook. i still love looking over the all titles and dates (and prices) of the movies printed on the colored perforated cards, but the fight club ticket stubs are like merit badges.

i took this selfie with an olympus digital camera, children. i had to set a timer, walk backwards, and pose.
hey, gen z, can we bring back these looong shirts? my collar bones would like to know.

wednesday - august 26, 2026. friends only post - party peopllllle...
a few weeks ago, chris and i went to nyc to visit a friend and had a great time with her at a claude vonstroke show in brooklyn. i wore my brightest disco dress and several women came up to me throughout the night and said they just wanted to talk to such a fun-looking person. don't get me wrong, i love San Francisco, but the lack of personal style here is tragic. thank you, new york ladies, for reminding me it's up to me to turn the party.

tuesday - august 25, 2026. friends only post - citrus.
20 years ago, the a.c. went out in the old house and i drove to walmart and bought this fan. i called it the "citrus fan" because it looked like a piece in the citrus set in animal crossing. i took these selfies with a digital camera my dad gave me for christmas. it was state of the art at the time, but couldn't handle low light without motion blur. i loved these photos and couldn't wait to post them to my myspace profile.

oh, my god. i've been working on this video since june 23rd. i wanted to remake an old series of videos i wasn't proud of and decided to focus on filming and editing a video i would want to watch.
if you know someone who would laugh with me, not at me, please share the video with them. i'm very aware that this is not the format most people in the youtube tarot community would make, and i would love to find my people!

friday - july 24, 2026. carving stamps out of pink erasers
i made most of these in a few days. i'd seen a video about eraser stamp carving months ago, but i couldn't start a new hobby while i was in school. making these is a lot of fun, but i kinda stalled out after the initial few days. i even drew out some ideas to carve but never got around to doing it. then a friend's birthday was coming up and i wanted to make her a card, so i picked my favorite idea that i hadn't tried, yet, and made her a jimothy card. i realized it's so much more fun to make an idea when there's a reason to make it, rather than just making it for the sake of the idea itself. i haven't made anymore stamps since then, but my friend loved her card!

everything is going to change. isn’t it nice to look back and say, “oh, look at how it used to be. i remember that!”
there’s a lot i would like to see again.
i made a documentary series with home movies from 25 years ago. i was disappointed when i watched the footage expecting to see some events that were missing. there were so many moments i remember from that time that would have made great videos, but the people around me would have acted differently with the camera pointed at them and the event i remember wouldn’t have been the same. i loved making this series and i’m proud to have finally lived out my reality bites fantasy and made myself something i love to watch. maybe you would like it, too.

i am a compulsive documentarian: a record for later, i record before i’m gone. i take photos, videos, draw what i see and don’t see, write in a journal, ask myself questions like “why?” and “what is it for?” i assume the people around me will disagree with me that these moments are worth recording. i imagine falling off a roof and how broken-hearted i would be on the way down, knowing dreadfully that it was about to be all gone. or not gone, but just over. at least for me.
just for me. but you’re invited. come and see.
